But I'm curious what defines the next generation of private cloud? And part of that question is how do priorities differ across stakeholders like developers, CIOs, CISOs?
We've said for a number of years that cloud is not a place or a destination, that cloud truly is an operating model.
and that it could be deployed anywhere it provides real value to the end user including self-service uh an api driven metered automated environment that at the end of the day delivers on-demand resources that provide a fast time to value and there was a time that The hyperscalers, the public clouds, were really the only provider of that type of capability, but that's really changed.
We've found now that a well-run private cloud, that operating model within the confines of a customer or partner's firewall is extremely advantageous.
And, you know, from a priority perspective, it does differ across stakeholders, right? The developers, the consumers, they just want fast time to value.
And what we're seeing is that we can deliver a two, five times increase in that access to resources to drive value and innovation.
And the moment is now because there are multiple factors that are making the customers to take the decision now.
They cannot advance more thinking on the technical debt that actually they have, right? the customer really needs to accelerate the time to market.
The competitiveness with the cloud-native or digital companies, digital and native companies, is really hard.
And customers today, the reality is that they have a set of distributed systems, right? They have compute, they have storage, they have network.
And the customers are demanding really to have this cloud experience with the control of the private cloud.
